DELKOR FAST FILTER PRESS (FAST FP)

Our DELKOR FAST FP consists of a fabricated sidebar frame supporting a moving head and filter plates positioned between the head frame and the moving head. As opposed to traditional filter presses, opening and closing of the plate pack is carried out by two synchronized non-reversible screws. Final compression of the plate pack is achieved by using a pressurized cushion inflated with water at low pressure.

STANDOUT FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES• Heavy duty design• Plate configuration is tailored to process requirements. Plates can be recessed or mixed membrane from 20 mm to 60 mm with an air blowing provision. Low moisture in the cake• No hydraulic power required (only electrical) • Complete plate pack opening and closing at once (up to 100 chambers simultaneously in 2 minutes)• Automatic plate misalignment detection• Fully-automated plate/cloth shaker for cake discharge• Less technical time • High pressure filtration up to 25 bar (363 psi)• Longer plate and cloth life

This machine provides its best performance and is best-suited to the following areas:• Concentrates• Tailings• Municipality• Oil and gas• Slurry with a quick filtration time
